Manuel Neuer retirement Bayern Munich

Jonas Urbig is the name Bayern Munich is lining up to take over the gloves, and that tells you where this is heading. Florian Plettenberg reports Manuel Neuer has essentially made the call to walk away from professional football when the season wraps, and the injuries are the backdrop to it all. A partial tendon tear in his right foot is the newest problem, and at 40 there's a genuine chance he doesn't play again for the rest of 2026. That's a rough way to go out for a keeper who's spent so long as the standard. What he leaves behind is wild though. A World Cup with Germany in 2014, two Champions Leagues, thirteen Bundesliga titles. You don't just replace that. Genuinely among the greatest to ever stand between the posts, and the legacy is historic. #ManuelNeuer
